TIE MINER begins the publication to-day
OF a series OF letters from the Ceur d'Alene
country, which will hereafter be a regular
feature of it's news service, as Butte is large
ly interested in that rich mineral belt. The
OF this Territory and the mineral
counties OF the Pan Handle are so nearly
identical that there is a very strong identi-
ty of interest between them. We trast that
the movement to incorporate these coun-
ties in our Territorial limits will result in
that contamination. Thus these mining
districts could have the benefit of Mon
tana's mineral avs and the advertising
this Territory has received abroad as the
richest mineral Territory in the country.

The Czar of Russia is said by an English
officer to be positively shocking in his
demeanor when under the influence OF the
ardent, but this is probably q p~rejudiced
view Of the case. However mad he may be
there lisa method in his aggressiveness. He
is slowly and surely advancing his lines of
railway and troops to the gate way OF
Indian trade notwithstanding the fact that
the British lion guards the pathway.
This fact would very naturally account for
English prejudice against him.

INTERESTS OF THE ROAD.
A RAIL.

From G. W. Voogt, agent for the Travel
ers' Insurance Company. the news was
learned of an accident on the Utah &
Northern about three miles this side OF
Melrose to the northbound freight train at
II O'Clock Monday night. The cause was a
broken rail. and the whole train, drawn by
two engines, e over in safety except the
caboose, which jumped the track and for
half a mile bumped over the ties. As soon
al the caboose left the rail the brakeman
jumped on top of the csboose and signalle
the engineer who did not notice the signal
until half a mile had been rum. The occu.
pants Of the caboose were G. W. and j. W.
VoOgt and the train men, who expected the
car to roll over every moment, in which
case there would have been an appalling
accident, with possibly loss of life. The
train was only making nine or ten miles an
hour, and the presence Of the big standard
gauge rail outside those the train was RIM
ming on kept it on the ties. A wrecking
crew WAS got from Melrose in less than an
hour who repaired the break. The Voogts
and employees stayed at the wreck until 3,
then cent to Woodin and were pickEd up
by the passenger train when it came along,
a minute delayed by the accident to
the freight.

STACKING UP.
The Modoc let out a good many OF 'ne.l

GENERAL NEWS.
The Gregory, just south OF the Big DO
nanza. ia down $50 feet and a perpendicu-
Ter shaft following the ledge is still being
sunk. This mine has been running steadily
during the past year, which il 9 suflc'ent
guarantee OF it's standing as a mineral pro-
ducer in this district.
Monday was pay day at the Hope. n
for the two weeks which Schuyler Gates
has run it he has disbursed $1,000. He
SAYS the mine is all right and will continue
80 for some time to come, the workings
fully coming up to expectations.
The Black Chief, south OF this city, Mel
lery & Co., ~lessees. which is coming to the
front as an ore producer, made a shipment
to the Moulton that returned very fair re-
suits. The ore is free milling and k
mostly from the surface.
Rev. L. E. Hanna, formerly pastor OF the
Presbyterian church, has taken charge OF
the Evelyn mine. He is erecting new hoist
ing works and will push things vigorously
from the start.
Messrs. Dwinev & Co. of the Smokehouse
have struck the ledge, drifting north nearly
under the Albemarle House. but have not
made any assays to determine the richness
Of the ore.
The metallurgist at one OF the smelters
says that some Ceur d. Alene ore which he
has been %assaying has made some very
good returns.
Walker & Co., who are sinking on their
mine two miles north of Walkerville, ex-
pect to strike the cage within the coming
week.
New machinery has been placed in the
Balm, which shut down not long since, and
sinking commences this morning.
The Moulton is mainly crushing custom
ore and works it's own ore when the other
supply runs short.

it has practically severed it's business rela-

affecting the freight business between San

Short Line. Utah and Northern and Mon
tana Union railroads, the Utah Central
Railway from Ogden to Spanish Fork in.

from Garrison to Helena inclusive. The
rates 1t makes to Utah points are virtually
the same az formerly over the Central Pa
ciic. The same is the cas- in rates to Hell

Idaho are materially lower. In order to
connect with the United States railroad
system at Portland the Unien Pacific will
run three steamers out of this port. They
are the Columbia, the State OF California

these steamers leave San Francisco alter

ager Thomas L. Kimball, of the Union Pa

was not for the interest of their constitu- |

by the company to influence legislation.
Members Of the legislatures usually |
had free passes offered them, and if
not offered, would ask for them, especially
the Autobiography members, whom he
defined 80 men who believed anything JUS
to defeat whatever was wanted by |
a railroad company. In reply to a quee-

They felt justified in doing everything pos
